A 34-year-old foreign domestic worker from Myanmar was arrested on suspicion of murder on Monday (6 Jul).
Police were alerted to a case of stabbing at a landed property on Recreation Road, located in Upper Serangoon, at 1.50pm today.
When they arrived, they found a 95-year-old woman lying motionless, and she was pronounced dead at the scene.
It is not known if the 34-year-old woman was arrested immediately after.
Police say that the case is being investigated as murder, and that the woman will be charged in court on Wednesday (8 Jul).
The victim and accused apparently knew each other, which makes it possible that the helper worked at the victim’s household.
According to neighbours that The Straits Times (ST) interviewed, they did not suspect any conflicts happening in the house.
MS News would like to express our condolences to the victim’s family and friends.
May she rest in peace.
